Full Moon Eclipse

 

A legend of the indigenous Pomo of Northern California says that a Bear wanders along the Milky Way until he meets up with the Sun.  Neither wants to give way to the other, so a fight ensues.  The Bear takes a bite out of the Sun, which we see as an eclipse.  The Bear continues on his journey and eventually his path crosses with the Sun's sister - the Moon.  The Bear argues with her as well, resulting in a Lunar eclipse.  And that is how the cycle repeats each time.

May the Full Moon in Taurus and Lunar Eclipse reveal and heal!

Grave of Aphrodite Priestess Found in Southern Russia

'The images of the zodiac signs around the goddess also point to the fact that this is indeed Aphrodite Urania, as they emphasize her heavenly hypostasis'."

2,350-year-old Cybele statue found

 

From the article:  

"A marble statue of the Anatolian mother goddess Cybele created 2,350 years ago has been discovered in the ancient city of Antandrus, located in the Edremit district of western Türkiye's Balıkesir province.  Noting that the statue was used as a stone in the walls of the Roman villa in Antandrus, Polat continued: 'The artifact, unfortunately, is not in a well-protected situation. However, we can understand it depicts the mother goddess Cybele.' Polat informed that the statue depicts Cybele sitting on the throne with lion figures on both sides along with another lion on her lap."
